This was a great property for our family vacation. The house was very comfortable for our family of 6 and dogs. Being able to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the river flowing was the icing on the cake.

We wanted a quiet cabin getaway to escape the Arizona heat and Steve’s cabin was just that. The cabin is right on a beautiful flowing river at the end of a gravel road. Our dog loved the river and sitting on the covered deck watching the chipmunks. The cabin was clean and cozy and just a short drive away from the lake. Can’t wait to go back!

Cozy house, heater operated so well you could get too hot. About 45 min away from Durango and lots of hiking locations in surrounding area.
Completely enjoyed our stay

We loved everything about this cabin! The creek, seeing adult deer, serene and solitude but still accessible (~45 minutes) to Durango. Beautiful and we'd absolutely come back here!

had a great stay, at the very end of the road and what a treat. Cant hear anything but the breeze and the creek running. Super relaxing and super secluded. House was perfect for our small group and we had a fantastic time.

We loved the location of this property. The river in the backyard made for a relaxing and unique experience. Fun area for our 2 year old to explore the lake shores of Vallecito lake. Close enough to Bayfield or Durango if you want to go to the store or out to eat. We would stay here again.

Our host responded in a timely manner to all messages, very great location and check in/out procedures were straight forward. Very minor issue with oven not working but other than that this place is great and I would definitely recommend if you want a place that is secluded and out in nature.

It is exactly as described. Pictures do not do justice to the flowing river behind the house. Everything was great. I do suggest mosquito spray. We were there in early June. We had 6 people and a dog. They even furnished dog bowls. Great place.

The property was just as decribed beautiful with the creek and river . We brought our dog and he had the best time running off leash in the creek and chasing squirrels. The property was well stocked with everything we needed. We would stay again
